REVIEW PART 1 So I had BA, lift and Vaser lipo on...

REVIEW PART 1
So I had BA, lift and Vaser lipo on inner thighs and knees at Bondi Junction private with Dr Zion Chan.
Initially went to my consult with Dr Chan and his assistant Kathleen 24/05/16 , In my initial consult I learnt that I had tuberous breasts! I had no idea what that and they both explained how and why its caused. I wanted a straight BA but there would be a risk of double bubble we decided to go for a larger implant with extra high profile! As for lipo, he explained laser would be best for me as it tightens skin etc
for the next few months I did lots of research (THANK YOU REAL SELF)
I then went back for a resizing and decided that I'd like more natural looking breasts and was waaaaay too paranoid about double bubble so I decided to get a lollipop lift also. I think I decided on a 310cc so 325cc put in under the muscle that consult also.
Third time I went in for a resizing I decided to go a bit bigger I ended up deciding on 345 and 365cc.
Surgery was booked for 18/11/16 but due to work taking back their approval I had all these dramas which aren't really relevant but caused a lot of head aches which caused me to resign!
Dr Chan had to then change surgery to 11/11/16 which worked out perfectly fine.

Ahhh week leading up to surgery day!!

So the week leading up to surgery I was quite fixated on it, I would literally stay up till 3am on real self researching to the point where I had to take Temazepan to sleep each night because I would just think about it all night! But I am definitely glad I did! Reading everyones reviews has given me realistic expectations and I was aware of whats going to happen to my body, like the bruising from the lipo and how painful recovery was going to be and "frankenboobs" etc.

Day before surgery

So the day before surgery Bondi Junction private's (BJP) admin staff called, as I was expecting to let me know my admission time and any pre op things I needed to know. I was taken back when the lady asked when I would be settling the $4200 hospital fees.. I was like wtf? I've paid $20,000AUD to my surgeon, I wasn't aware of any hospital fees if thats the case I will be requesting a full refund and not going ahead with surgery with Dr Chan! I then spoke with Kathleen (The saint) at Dr Chans room who advised that the hospital invoices the surgeon and they look after it and not to worry, I kept her on the phone for like 20 minutes just asking random questions which she patiently answered even though she was probably soooooo busy, she eased my pre op anxiety. I then get a call from one of the RNs at BJP who notified me of my admission time and just asked general health questions what time to fast from etc. Soooooo its all happening! I spent the day running around like a headless chicken getting my nails done (with no polish), removing eyelash extensions, getting my hair done, buying a U pillow, cleaning my room for the fourth time that week, picking up meds.. safe to say I didn't rest as I should of! At 5:45 I received a all from BJP again asking if the account will be settled on the day.. I feel sorry for the poor lady.. I was stuck in traffic at time on the M4 in peak hour heading westbound.. for anyone that lives in Sydney knows how frustrating that is and being 2 weeks since I quit smoking on top of pre op anxiety, I unleashed on this poor lady.. she realised and apologised and said she would sort everything out and if Dr Chans rooms told me not to worry then I don't need to, she apologised for giving me more stress before surgery!

Leading up to the day of surgery I was veeeeerrrryyyy annoying and had dramas with work re leave so I was in contact with Dr Chans rooms so often, they were always so helpful! Like I mean at least once a week for 5 months.. to the point where I know who is who when they answer the phone! They never one made me feel as though I was annoying them. Dr Chan has an amazing bedside manner, he is one to ease nerves and is very knowledgable. Further review of Dr Chan will be provided in update.
